Epilogue The Memory Remains tab by Ayreon

Solo tabs

Ayreon - Epilogue: The Memory Remains (solos)
From the 2008 compilation album "Timeline"

Words and music by Arjen Lucassen

Transcription by Travis Lausch


Notes: I figured out the solos by watching the playthroughs
on the DVD portion of the "Timeline" box set. Both solos are
in standard tuning. The Lori Linstruth solo is incomplete,
even despite the video, because her fingers are just all
over the place on that one arpeggio, which starts with a
long slide down the neck (see her solo in Stream Of Passion's
"Passion" for another great example of this). Despite this,
I've presented the solos exactly as they're played on the DVD.
They may not be played this way in the final recordings,
but this is how Arjen and Lori played them there.

Lori's solo has a lot more whammy bar usage than I've written down.
Make it a sort of habit to pre-dive into just about every note after
any sort of pause here. And use the wah to the fullest extent you can here.

Arjen's solo is played with a lot of finger vibrato with the slide.
As a result, some notes are, for all practical purposes, "between"
frets, so the intended pitches may be a bit different from
what I've written down.
